Great Spangled Fritillary

Size: a medium butterfly

Status: This colorful butterfly is most common in June but can be found throughout the summer. It is often seen nectaring at common milkweed (Aslcepias syriaca).

A related species, the variegated fritillary, can sometimes be seen in late summer and fall. It is a bit duller with narrower wings and lacks the silver spots on the underwing.

Hi Cecilia,
A superb shot here. The composition and framing are superb. Yor subject is extremely isolated from the OOF backround. The excellent light, and perfect exposure, have made the colors beautiful. Sharp detail! Well done

Hi Cecilia,
I just saw this one on my way out :-) The thing that strikes me about this is the empty space underneath the Butterfly, it just works so well. Excellent colours and detail and DOF is spot-on. Great shot.
Cheers,
Adrian
